After his death, Mu Ling was bound to a wish system and traveled into the realm of a novel about the Republic of China. Her mission is simple - find the male protagonist Zhang Lingyun and fulfill his wish.
Zhang Lingyun is the last generation head of the Zhang family. In his last life, his family members died one by one in the torrent of the War of Resistance. The eldest brother was besieged and killed in street fighting, the eldest sister was kidnapped by the enemy, the second brother was assassinated in the military camp, the second sister was hanged from the city wall, and the youngest brother went astray. He watched helplessly as that family was crushed under the wheels of time, unable to do anything.
In this life, he made a wish, hoping that someone could block those "dead knots" for his family - but he didn't know that the person who would fulfill this wish for him would be a little girl from the future who loved fried chicken and smiled heartlessly.
Mu Ling blocked the first attack for his elder sister and the second time for his elder brother. Three times, four times, five times. Every time she would die for his family, and every time she would come back to life in pain and blood. In that war-torn era, she learned to walk on horseback, dance on plum blossom piles, sing "Man Jiang Hong", and hold a knife that was too short. She planted flowers under the locust tree, cooked in the kitchen, and said "I'm back" to the door in the corridor late at night. She lived her life as the red rope on his copper coins, tying up those who were about to be separated for him.
The last time, she didn't survive. And he, after many years of fighting, returned to his ancestral land...
